Dear Arne,
Thank you for your reply. I installed xcin (apt-get install xcin). Plus I have installed the deb package xfonts-intl-chinese, which is what gives me Chinese fonts in Xemacs.
However, when I try to start xcin (from an xterm) I'm running into a locale problem, and maybe a font problem. Here's the output I'm getting:
bob@sonic:~$ xcinterm-big5
xcin: error: C locale "zh_TW.Big5" is not supported by your system.
/usr/bin/crxvt -fm "taipei16" -fn "-sony-*-16-*-iso8859-1" -im "xcin" -bg black -fg white -geometry +0+0 -T "rxvt Chinese terminal (xcin, zh_TW.Big5)"
bob@sonic:~$ /usr/bin/xcinterm-big5: /usr/bin/crxvt: No such file or directory
bob@sonic:~$ xcinterm-gb
xcin: error: C locale "zh_CN.GB2312" is not supported by your system.
/usr/bin/crxvt -fm "hanzigb16fs" -fn "-sony-*-16-*-iso8859-1" -im "xcin-zh_CN.GB2312" -bg black -fg white -geometry +0+0 -T "rxvt Chinese terminal (xcin, zh_CN.GB2312)"
bob@sonic:~$ /usr/bin/xcinterm-gb: /usr/bin/crxvt: No such file or directory
Not sure what else I need to do to get it working. I'd appreciate any insights you can give.
TIA,
Robert
